=======================================================
It might be a grey area with VM or maybe they are just moving goal
posts, but as far as I have read from their TM plan...
Downloads are no longer monitored (at any time of day)... just uploads
are monitored.
Uploads to Torrent AND Newsgroups Are counted against you regardless
of the time of day (ie...24-7).
This doesn't seem to fit with 'Buff' or he would have hit the limits
easily... a few times.
I'm guessing that Top Tier don't actually have ANY limits.
Another grey area... I joined on the lowest speed nearly 3 years ago,
I think it was 20MB !? This then got upgraded for free to 30MB, which
then got upgraded free to 50MB. (afaik)
50MB and above is supposed to be the Top Tier usage... so as my
upgrades were free... maybe I still only get the lower tier limits !?
Thats the only thing that could explain that I can easily hit the
limits posting with the 50MB option.
Anyways... we all know that you get what you pay for :)
